Our School

GEMS Al Barsha National School aims to be one of the leading national schools producing future leaders of character who are confident, resilient, adaptable and ethical global citizens.

We offer a world class education founded on the National Curriculum for England. This educational programme, from Foundation through to A-Levels, is internationally recognised and will provide our students with the opportunity to access some of the finest universities in the UAE as well as overseas.

We place specific emphasis on developing literacy and numeracy skills in both Arabic and English through equal bilingual language instruction in the Foundation years.

Our teaching and learning programs will develop your children’ critical thinking, leadership, creativity and problem solving skills through a variety of engaging and innovative student centred activities.

In FS1 and FS2 girls and boys will be taught co-educationally with girls and boys taught together in every class. From Y5 onwards girls and boys will be taught separately.
